Synopsis

Album Description

From the director of "School Of Rock" and "Dazed and Confused" comes this summer?s smash comedy hit. Classic Rock meets the new school. Beloved tunes from Alice Cooper and Ted Nugent sit alongside new tracks from Senses Fail and Phantom Planet. Baseball has rules. Meet the exceptions. Grizzled former professional baseball player Morris Buttermaker (Billy Bob Thornton) is recruited by a strait-laced lawyer (Marcia Gay Harden) to coach the Bears, a woefully inept Little League team. He's got to find a way to drive this gang of 12 misfits to a championship against their hated rivals: the Yankees and their overbearing coach (Greg Kinnear). From the director that brought you "School of Rock" comes a hilarious 2005 homage to an irreverent 1976 comedy: "Bad News Bears." Soundtrack Album Producers: Richard Linklater and Randall Poster Executive Album Producer: Ralph Sall for Bulletproof Recording Company. Inc.

CD Reviews

Dazed & Confused meets Baseball

Underground Reborn | ny | 07/27/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Richard Linklater was the perfect director to remake this classic comedy, because Linklater knows that music needs to move a movie. 'Bad News Bears' has a soundtrack that goes right up there with 'Dazed & Confused' and 'School of Rock'. This soundtrack pays homage to the origional films score from 'Carmen' and pays tribute to the happening 70's with some awesome classic rock tunes. Artists include John Fogerty, Alice Cooper and Ted Nugent. There are also so great covers of some well known classics inlcuding a decent cover of 'Wipeout' by underground sensations Phantom Planet. And of course to entertain the mainstream fans a song from Simple Plan. If you don't feel that the movie is up to par with the 1976 classic I beleive if they would have made a rock soundtrack to the origional these songs would have surley made the cut."
